Tennessee EMU open season!

[drfubar]

May 1st was open season on Emu here in Tennessee. Several running around wild at Mary's Ridge. Got lucky this morning with my bow. Cut a couple of drum steaks out of the upper leg and letting it marinate in my homemade sauce to be grilled later tonight. Leaner than venison and exceptionally tender. Has the texture and taste of a good piece of beef for sure. Don't ask for the Marinade recipe, it's a secret. Ok, just a couple of ingredients... Olive oil, horseradish, mustard.... many more.

Not a lot of meat. Live 80-90lbs. They drag pretty easy.

I heard the meat is very tasty!

It's excellent. I found it when I was looking for an alternative to mammals meat because of the Alpha Gal.

Although it resembles a bird, the emu is from the ratite family and is a cousin of the ostrich. ... Emu meat is an excellent alternative for health-conscious consumers who love the taste of beef. The red emu meat is similar in taste and texture to lean beef, but lower in cholesterol, fat, and calories.

I smell another cooking video coming.

Nope, didn't do another one. Not enough interest for my time.

Are you serious about hunting wild emu? I know about emu meat being a healthier alternative, but was unaware of any hunting.

Left handed Wermacht soldier looks to be wearing the armband of the Hermann Goring division. Although I must say his uniform looks more like a reproduction made from an East German uniform from after the war... I miss my K98's. I wonder how much a left handed K98 is worth?

I wacked a peacock 10 years ago. We ate it. Dam good. Very white meat.

I'd be very interested in your "Cooking Emu with the Doc" video.
